Big and box pressed, this cigar burns and draws well with a pleasant aroma. The smoke is rich, balanced and elegant, with a toasty, nutty flavor and a hint of cocoa.

Dark as ink and perfectly pressed, with a rough cap. It has a perfect draw, and blossoms with complex notes of wood, spiced cocoa, macadamia nuts and white chocolate. A medium to full-bodied cigar that's a joy to smoke.

A powerhouse of cocoa bean and earthy flavors. It is complex in the palate, and has an interesting floral character. It is medium to full bodied with a long finish that includes a sweet, cedar wood taste.
